Another woman has come forward to accused Judge Roy Moore of sexual misconduct.

The sixth allegation came to light Wednesday, around the same time Moore’s legal team held a press conference to address aspects of the fifth allegation and its connection to a signature in a yearbook.

AL.com posted the story from a Gadsden woman who said Moore groped her when she was in his law office regarding legal business with her mother in 1991. The woman, Tina Johnson, said Moore was speaking to her and her mother in his office on Third Street.

Johnson said Moore was flirtatious with her.

At the time, said Johnson, she was 28 years old and going through a difficult marriage heading towards divorce. She was trying to sign over custody of her 12-year-old son to her mother. Her mother hired Moore to handle the custody petition.

She said the comments made her uncomfortable and so she attempted to speed up the process so they could leave his office.

At one point, said Johnson, Moore came around the desk and approached her so closely she could smell his breath. He asked questions about her daughters, even wondering if they were as pretty as she was, reported the AL.

Johnson said these comments made her uncomfortable as well. When she moved to leave Moore came up from behind and grabbed her buttocks, she told AL.

"He didn't pinch it; he grabbed it," said Johnson.

She said the incident left her speechless enough that she didn’t tell her mother right away.

Instead it wasn’t until years later that she spoke about it. This month she reached out to AL to tell the full account following the stories shared by the other Moore accusers.

While Johnson says she isn’t perfect, she considers herself a “devout Christian” and wanted to come forward. In the past, Johnson has pled guilty to writing bad checks and for third-party theft of property relating to a family disagreement, she says, but since 2010 she has been working to improve her life.

Johnson said she is not political nor does she follow politics.

"This is not a politics thing with me," she said. "It's more of a moral and religious thing. It has bothered her over the years to see Moore on TV, talking about his Christian faith.”

Johnson said ultimately she wished she had done more to reject the advance when it occurred.
